specifically, and hopefully to draw the curtains down, 'em' is the width (in pixels) of the letter 'M' (caps) for the particular font you're using, hence them name 'em'. so as stated by effigy, it changes with the font.

[b]edit:[/b] in response to your post whilst i was typing mine - i've personally never used anything other than pixels and percentages. as for the others? i guess i'll know when to use them when i get to that stage.
